2021-08-19 New! Robotic Weed Killers, Insect Treaters
I’ve thought about these robots several times over the years because for millenia farmers did this by hand, without the carcinogenic (cancer causing) herbicides and insecticides. Now they have built a robotic weed killer that zaps weeds with a Laser. And another farm robotic machine is powered by a Tesla battery. What makes me elated

2021-08-18 Climate Change Argument Ignores Problem!
https://youtu.be/Um1az7PjyzM While this p!ssing contest is going on, the changes in climate are doing more and more damage. If either of these arguers are not able to give a solution to the change in climate then they should both be ignored. The fact is if these arguments keep on distracting others from solving the problem,

2021-08-18 Robotic Delivery on Sidewalks
These small delivery vehicles are used in some areas of Silicon Valley. They have a number of advantages as told in the study. The savings on fossil fuels makes good sense. One disadvantage that I see is the customers would not keep enough food on hand and be dependent on the delivery system. https://ark-invest.com/articles/analyst-research/robot-delivery/
2021-08-17 PHEVs More Sophisticated Than BEVs
From TSLA Shareholders FB group. I think most here have no clue of what makes a PHEV work. It’s much more sophisticated than a BEV. It has everything a BEV has including a way to integrate the engine’s output with the battery and electric motors’ output. As in the BEV, the motors also act as

2021-08-17 Laser Hydride Film Stores Hydrogen
This company called Plasma Kinetics has developed a thin film that can store hydrogen at the same volume as a 5000 PSI cylinder but lighter, and lighter than batteries. The medium can be very thin film or disks. The hydrogen is released by shining a laser onto the film. Because the hydrogen does not have

2021-08-17 BEV Fires Take 40x More Water
I got in a disagreement with a guy about how dangerous hydrogen powered vehicles are. He claimed hydrogen vehicles are more dangerous than lithium batteries. I cited the fires that were occurring in Chevy Bolts recently. So here’s an article that “adds more fuel to the fire” on how dangerous BEVs are. Hydrogen burns but

2021-08-16 Musk On Carbon Tax, Solar Power
This is a 12 minute lecture by Elon Musk on why the world must have a system to disincentivize the burning of fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are adding CO2 to the atmosphere, which is disrupting the natural carbon dioxide cycle that has existed for millions of years. The burning of fossil fuels must be stopped
